Fruit production team leader to agronomic crop production team leader
A fruit production team leader already meets 70% of what the agronomic crop production team leader role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
44.9/ 100
1 How much of what an agronomic crop production team leader is expected to do is already part of a fruit production team leader’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the agronomic crop production team leader role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An agronomic crop production team leader role treats 25 of its required skills as things a fruit production team leader already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- agroecology
- agronomical production principles
- assign duties to agriculture workers
- crop production principles
- ecology
- ensure soil fertility
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 39 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An agronomic crop production team leader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fruit production team leader background worth leading with.
- already held ensure soil fertility handling and moving
- already held manage agritourism activities management skills
- already held perform on-farm product processing working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held monitor fields handling and moving
- already held provide agri-touristic services communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held types of storage facilities information and communication technologies (icts)
All 39 carried skills, including the 25 the agronomic crop production team leader role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 17 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
